Mahogany’s Grace
She moves like whispers draped in fire,
each step—an echo of desire.
Her presence carves the air in two,
a hymn of dusk and honeydew.
Her skin—molasses kissed by sun,
a hymn where burning verses run.
Her laughter lingers, deep and low,
like cello strings in moonlight’s glow.
Her words unravel time and space,
a dialect of love’s embrace.
Her spirit, forged from storms and gold,
a tale the ancient winds have told.
She is the dawn, the dusk, the dream,
a river carved from fate’s regime.
Her beauty—more than form and face,
it’s in her fire, her fight, her grace.
each step—an echo of desire.
Her presence carves the air in two,
a hymn of dusk and honeydew.
Her skin—molasses kissed by sun,
a hymn where burning verses run.
Her laughter lingers, deep and low,
like cello strings in moonlight’s glow.
Her words unravel time and space,
a dialect of love’s embrace.
Her spirit, forged from storms and gold,
a tale the ancient winds have told.
She is the dawn, the dusk, the dream,
a river carved from fate’s regime.
Her beauty—more than form and face,
it’s in her fire, her fight, her grace.
